Yeah I would cause it gives you really good security and I think it's a good invesment for your BTC.Storing your BTC is a really big issue and more people should understand that it's crucial to choose a nice method for that.

I dont like to put all of my coins into a wallet so i dont think i would buy a hardware wallet and that is just because i know how bad the security of the wallets are.

I disagree that the security of the bitcoin wallet providers online has bad security at all. Do you think blockchain has a bad security? I guess you are just putting out a statement without basis but I can't blame you if you think that online wallets does have poor security. For me, I won't go to buy hardware wallet it is just going to cost me another bucks.

You are right the blockchain as a example has a good security but it stays a  online wallet, who knows what will happen.
With a paper wallet you are safe from hackers, a hardware wallet is okay but I would never buy it.

in my opinion it is more secure and easy to use blokchain wallet, I suggest enable all existing security to avoid incidents that we do not want
How could it ever be considered safer to store your bitcoins online than offline, i wish people would stop posting shit they know nothing about.
Newbies reading this may actually take your shit advice seriously and end up losing their coins to a hack.

Just the entering with blockchain can be made very hard, but yes blockchain is a third party and when it comes to money or bitcoins it's much safer to store it offline by using a trezor hardware wallet then keeping it online for a third party to run away with your coins.

No I would not buy a hardware wallet these days, because its not even every secure and it can also disappear, if you are doing something wrong or as a example you lost it.
I think its not a good option for a wallet, I would not buy it.

I too agree, investing again for storing, i prefer we wallet like coinbase or blockchain, since i don't have more than 5 btc, if i like to store more than 1000 btc for quite some period, i might think of other options to store the bitcoin
You are right about this, for low amounts its not even needed because of the fact that the blockchain as a example already has a good secured wallet.
I think that people should also more trust online wallets these days.

Well using  web wallets are  good  if you have only small amounts of bitcoin and we could really say that  because  we are  not assuring  too much our  bitcoin holdings since there few anyways but  for those how hold  huge amounts  for sure they would worry  about their funds  stored on an online wallet  thats why some  would  buy hardware wallets and store all those huge amounts of bitcoin for more security.

You have a point, hardware wallets would be only ideal if  you are  holding large amounts of bitcoin but  if  you only have small amounts then better to  store in web wallet because you would add up expense only if you  buy   hardware wallet just for small bitcoin  is just nonsense at all.

Indeed store the bitcoin takes a lot of funds and also to take care of her. I will also do so if you have a large number of the btc or perhaps greater. because it was more than enough to make me become the richest person in a short time when the price of the bitcoin moment it is undergoing a phase of very high rise

Me too I don't want to buy hardware wallets because online wallets for me are already enough to store my bitcoins and that is going to help me to save money too.

Because in buying hardware wallet you need to invest again for it. Why you need to invest one and buy it if there are some online wallets that are just being offered for free.

yeah they're having security features to prevent hacker,but the thing since they're an online wallet service,then if they turn out to scam thousands of people because this service is actually owned by someone then what you can do? don't expect the security features would prevent it
even though i don't think they wanna do it because they're just a popular service and wasting the popularity such a useless thing

Yes, the possibility of  being hacked or stolen funds are there since its own by someone and have access on each of the accounts being created  no matter what security feature you activated on it. but  in  blockchain.info its impossible to happen in fact  they are one of the most commonly used  online wallet as of now.

They wouldnt  destroy their reputation  just  on a penny hacking coins on  their members account. Blockchain is  famous and almost  bitcoin users  does use this  online wallet for their transactions. It not possible  that they  would commit such act for sure. Blockchain does have  strong security  i could  recommend it  to others but if you do hold large amounts of bitcoin then  it better to  buy  hardware wallet in my own opinion because  its somehow safe.

Blockchain.info wallet is never more secure even than desktop wallets , imagine now compared with a hardware wallet. I am a proud user of the cheapest hardware wallet www.ledger.com is the website to buy it if you like and I sleep really well at night worry free that my bitcoins may mysteriously vanish just like it happens almost all the time with the web online wallets like blockchain.info .

Blockchain does  have a strong  security  regarding on keeping our  bitcoins on an online wallet because the have features like blocking  a tor ip address which  usually hackers used but one thing  i could complain  about blockchain is its  transaction fee which is  somehow big compare to other wallets but still a good online wallet though. I would buy a hardware wallet if  i hold  large amounts of bitcoin.

I'm already buying a trezor and that is cost a much for my money in the pouch but after using that I can say that is very convenient for me and that is matching the value is you spend and the result you will get it for your amount and keep it always safe.

I also do not like hardware wallets because they can get stuck.

Yes the security is not so good plus the fact is that they can get stuck and they you have the chance of losing your wallet forever.. so that is pretty sick if you are asking me.
If you guy's don't like keeping your coins in a wallet then where are you going to keep them, in your pocket or coin purse?

@ybalevia, can you provide any proof or information to back up your claim that hardware wallets have bad security?
Seems like that just their speculation, because too many I've always heard from the old member in here if storing in the hardware wallet is better than storing in your desktop wallet or especially online wallet.  and the chance for losing your money is just caused by your fault.

THeres nothing wrong in hardware wallets  because  i think the same thing  like others said  its somehow  safe compared on desktop or online but   in hardware wallet there also a risk but in minimal situations since you could  keep it  on  a safe place that no one knows but  having a hardware wallet  could be ideal if youre holding large amounts of bitcoin.

All we used in your computer or other advanced devices will certainly have the possibility for error or loss. Because all electronics have slits to be used in a bad thing. Bitcoin wallet, as well as whether what we use in store bitcoin will definitely have the possibility to lose. So, do update every day or as often as possible towards our wallet because it is one of the ways to prevent losing
